hdfs-sys  

Bindings to HDFS Native C API.

Work with these bindings directly is boring and error proven, please use hdrs instead if ever possible.

Supported Versions

To target a version of libhdfs, enable a Cargo features such as one of the following:

• hdfs_2_2 (default): requires hdfs 2.2 or later releases.
• hdfs_2_3: requires hdfs 2.3 or later releases.
• hdfs_2_4: requires hdfs 2.4 or later releases.
• hdfs_2_5: requires hdfs 2.5 or later releases.
• hdfs_2_6: requires hdfs 2.6 or later releases.
• hdfs_2_7: requires hdfs 2.7 or later releases.
• hdfs_2_8: requires hdfs 2.8 or later releases.
• hdfs_2_9: requires hdfs 2.9 or later releases.
• hdfs_2_10: requires hdfs 2.10 or later releases.
• hdfs_3_0: requires hdfs 3.0 or later releases.
• hdfs_3_1: requires hdfs 3.1 or later releases.
• hdfs_3_2: requires hdfs 3.2 or later releases.
• hdfs_3_3: requires hdfs 3.3 or later releases.

If you do not enable one of these features, the API provided by hdfs_2_2 will be available by default.

Enable one feature will also enable all features before it. For example, enable hdfs_2_4 will also enable hdfs_2_3 and hdfs_2_2.

Dependencies

This crate will link to libjvm dynamically.

To make this crate works correctly, please make sure the following env set correctly:

• JAVA_HOME: hdfs-sys will search path like ${JAVA_HOME}/lib/server to link libjvm.

NOTE: hdfs-sys will ignore linking if DOCS_RS is set to build docs.

Runtime

hdfs-sys uses JNI to call functions provided by jars that provided by hadoop releases. Please make sure CLASSPATH is set correctly before calling any functions provided by hdfs-sys:

export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java
export HADOOP_HOME=/path/to/hadoop
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/lib/server
export CLASSPATH=$(find $HADOOP_HOME -iname "*.jar" | xargs echo | tr ' ' ':')
